- Develop automation and platform tools using Python, Go, or analogous programming languages.
- Write scripts for building, deployment, and operational activities utilizing Bash and PowerShell.
- Package applications with Helm charts and manage configurations with YAML.
- Ensure platform security is aligned with ASD Information Security Manual standards and required accreditation protocols.
- Deploy observability solutions using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or Splunk to monitor platform health and performance.
- Maintain comprehensive operational runbooks and documentation for platforms.
- Provide dependable platform and developer experience support to multiple internal delivery teams.
Essential Experience and Skills
- Proven experience engineering cloud platforms on AWS or Azure.
- Strong expertise in infrastructure as code, notably with Terraform.
- Hands-on operational experience managing Kubernetes or similar orchestration systems.
- Proficient programming or scripting skills in Python, Go, or similar.
- Competent in designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for secure delivery.
- Understanding of ASD Information Security Manual requirements impacting platform design.
- Advanced skills using Bash scripting for build, deployment, and operational workflows.
- Ability to clearly document and communicate platform details with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working in classified, air-gapped, or isolated cloud environments.
- Background supporting multiple internal delivery teams within platform engineering.
- Familiarity with monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or Splunk.
- Certifications like AWS Solutions Architect, AWS DevOps Engineer, Azure Administrator, Azure Solutions Architect, Certified Kubernetes Administrator, or HashiCorp Terraform Associate.
- Experience delivering solutions for Australian Government entities.
